N.J. man charged with DUI, leaving scene in KillingtonFebruary 09,2014Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
KILLINGTON - A New Jersey man is facing a slew of charges after allegedly crashing his vehicle while intoxicated Saturday morning.
Travis Hudson, 22, of Tom River, N.J., is scheduled to appear March 31 in Rutland criminal court to answer charges of drunken driving, providing false information to police and leaving the scene of an accident.
At approximately 8:24 a.m., state police responded to a report of a crash on Roaring Brook Road, where they found an abandoned Honda CR-V, off the road and surrounded by beer cans, police said. The vehicle had traveled off the road and struck several signs and trees, but the driver was nowhere to be found, police said.
In the afternoon, Hudson came to the State Police Barracks in Rutland, where he denied drinking prior to the crash, despite appearing intoxicated, police said.
In addition to the criminal charges, police also issued Hudson tickets for failing to stay on the road and for leaving beer cans and other debris at the site of the abandoned vehicle.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

Skip to comments.Special Delivery (How To Buy a BMW in Germany)
Posted on 03/19/2007 4:05:56 AM PDT by FormerACLUmember
This wasnt the first time Id opted for European delivery. In fact, after counting all the license plates Id collected from these international adventures, I discovered I was on my eighth visit. Normally, when my wife learns I want to go to Stuttgart or Munich, she digs in her proverbial heels. So I had to package my automotive connection with a week in Paris. I made the arrangements to pick up a BMW 335 at the Munich factory. Heres how the deal went down
My local BMW dealer booked my order, and then faxed my specifications and delivery date to the Fatherland. After factory approval, I filled out some simple forms, made a copy of my passport and faxed ze paypaz to Germany. In exchange, I received a five percent discount off the U.S. list price (the dealer is free to discount further). Done.
European rental cars are dull and expensive; figure thats another $2k saved. Oh, and you also get to ignore the break in period and drive as fast as you dare on unrestricted segments of the Autobahn. As the MasterCard voice-over guys says, priceless.
As this was my fourth visit to BMWs Munich HQ in two years, the staff treated us like old friends (i.e. they treated us with a certain awkward formality that would have instantly disappeared whilst imbibing local beer in a neighborhood rathskeller). After signing the inevitable insurance form (the European delivery package includes two weeks of free insurance), my hosts demonstrated a raft of electronic features Ill never use, handed a picnic lunch and wished a safe journey.
Our first destination: the Rhine River, about 300 miles distant. As we were motoring during harvest time, I wanted to stop en route to let my wife could experience Federweisser. Thats the German wine made from the first press of the grapes (like Beaujolais but nowhere near as frivolously named), traditionally served with a kind of onion quiche.
We stopped at the first decent looking town along the Neckar river: Bad Wimpfen. Meine Deutsch was good enough to accomplish the task at hand. Our appetites sated, we spooled-up the twin turbos and headed to Stromberg for Johann Lafers reknowned kitchen.
Cruising at 110mph on the Autobahn, you soon realize why German car makers couldnt give a rats ass about cup holders. Whos got time for coffee when the slightest mistake would take a half mile to conclude.
We arrived just before dark, just in time to unclench my hands from the wheel and freshen up for dinner. Our room was in an old castle tower, three stories tall, on the hotels third floor. For those of you keeping track, the bedroom was five floors from the restaurant. Excessive consumption of wine was problematic. Fortunately, I was served the finest steak Ive ever eaten (from Austria, no less) and, um, rabbit.
The next day we crossed into Luxembourg. I was only able to average 24 mpg in Germany. Restricted to a maximum of 80mph, I achieved closer to 30 mpg. Good thing too, since fuel cost upwards of seven bucks a gallon.
I wanted to go to Luxembourg, if only because I dont know anyone whos been there. We enjoyed a world class museum designed by I.M. Pei (not I. R. Baboon) and flaming garlic shrimp (Portuguese style) from Chez Bacano. Our third day included a jaunt across Eastern France, with pit-stops at Nancy and Metz, before settling in for the night outside of Reims.
I enjoyed the three finest glasses of wine of the entire trip: a 1999 Deutz Blanc de Blancs Champagne, a 2003 Puligny Montrachet and a 1999 Phelan Segur Bordeaux. My wife, who does not drink, savored every last drop of the Bordeaux. Of course, three or more ducks relinquished their livers for our gluttonous gustatory satisfaction.
The next morning we drove to the Charles De Gaulle airport to drop off the 335 at the shipper: TT Car Transit (easily located by Terminal 3). Unfortunately, the gentleman who normally handles my paperwork was delayed in traffic. As I had a plane to catch, his assistant located the Main Man via cell. He talked all three of us through the procedure.
Six signatures later, I removed the front license plate as a memento of the experience, handed over one of the car keys and let the nice lads at TT whisk us off to my departure terminal. Six weeks later, I picked up my ride, safe and sound, at my local dealer.
If youre leasing your new Bimmer, you get one free month; so you pay for the car without possessing it for a couple of weeks. If you pay cash, payment in full is required 30 days prior to pick up. The warranty expires in four years, but the memories last forever.
I've always wanted to do this with a 2-wheeled Beemer. One of these days...
How do you "avoid the break-in period"? I thought that was like "avoiding" gravity.
Great story, except for all the whine references.
FYI...German car makers, about 10 years ago, effectively "buried" an insurance study which showed that Americans picking up cars in Germany ( and likely to head immediately for the Autobahn ) were some 400% MORE likely to have a serious accident...IOW..if you're NOT used to driving at 100+MPH...don't start doing so on a public highway..
But what about Global Warming??? How much do Germans layout for Carbon Offsets to cover their criminal behavior against the planet???.../s
We did this once. It made sense and we enjoyed the trip a thousand times more. I think the "break-in" period means kieeping it under 140 for the first 500 miles. The only downside was that the six weeks waiting for it to be delivered were a torture, and I found out the hard way that as a woman I was not allowed down on the docks to pick it up so there were some delays. This was from an old law that prevented hookers from going down to the docks to score longshoremen, but it's a law that does need to be updated because not everybody who buys a car abroad is a man.
That was being done 50 years ago with Mercedes. But you have to do it right. The car has to be built to US specs and, unless things have changed, has to be driven for so many miles to not be considered a new car. New cars pay import duties.
BMW = Big Mess of Wires
Smart man. One who truly understands the fundamentals of the game.
The author sounds like an uppity snob to me.
He does make it sound fun.
Well, I'll agree that the heating/air-conditioning fan unit is a POS.
why would anybody order a BMW with FOUR doors?
we call it something else
"That settles it. Next year, I am off to Deutschland for my new Beemer. The savings will pay for my vacation."
A "Beemer" is a motorcycle. Is that what you're getting? Or are you getting a "Bimmer" (car)?
"Great story, except for all the whine references."
My feeling, too.
The styling is getting less quirky. Did they get rid of Chris Bangel or just cut back his Schnapps allotment?
Made my eyes water too.
'BMW = Big Mess of Wires'
In England BMW = Black Mans Wheels! :D
That car in post #7 - how much does it cost?
'why would anybody order a BMW with FOUR doors?'
In Germany 4 doors are often considered the sporty version because big 2 door cars like a Merc CL or 6-series are usually bought by retired people who don't have kids anymore and drive them slower!
I won't purchase a BMW for two reasons. 1) I am 6'4 with long legs and BMW has that annoying transmission box. 2) BMW, like other German firms, have labor unions sitting on their Board. I am so sick of labor unions driving up car prices so we can support their pensions, healthcare and lazy work habits.
Of course, I will end up not buying ANY car under this approach.
7 speed manual...500 HP....the #1 Sport Sedan on the planet.
LOL! Go and test drive an M5...then get back to me.
I wonder if Ferrari does this? I know Mercedes does. I mean jeez 300k for a basic car you'd think they'd have some sort of fringe benefit.
how a foor door nerdmobile, such as the one pictured,
can be cosidered 'sporty', is beyond my comprehention.
I don't buy your arguement.
the thinking behind a four door is...
old - arthritic - fat, people,
into thinking they are buying something
sporty or 'outdoorsy'
Interesting trip, but unfortunately the quality of all German manufactured vehicles has taken a turn for the worse over the past few decades. BMW's new K series motorcycle has suffered through four transmission redesigns and five engine control software upgrades since it was released last year and they still haven't gotten it right. Mercedes quality has exhibited an inverse relationship to the level of electronic gadgetry that they have attempted to incorporate into their cars.
I really like the M5 but for the money I'd buy a Viper. The kids can ride in the trunk.
I lived in Germany for 4 years, and had to take a course on driving in Germany, etc. The rules of the road are a bit different here. Big difference, slow traffic in the left lane on the Autobahn is a traffic offense if you don't yield to faster traffic. There is NO passing on the right. If you are going 150KPH (over 90MPH), you still must yield to someone going 220KPH.
After driving my car the max on the speedometer (110 MPH), I soon discovered that if I made a mistake at that speed, that I was toast. I found that I could cruise at 130KPH (85MPH) and relax a bit.
It made my eyes water!!!!
I took European delivery of my Porsche back in 1987. The money I saved allowed me to stay 4 weeks touring the countrysides. It was a blast.
Yeah, saw that this weekend. It would be fun but on the roads in Mississippi, I'd be dead befoe I got down the block...
Plus 10 radiators?
'I don't buy your arguement.'
That's fine - it's not my argument, it's a German one.
Your thinking behind four-doors is how most people in England thank about automatic gearboxes. There is no such thing as an automatic sportscar. Here autos are for fat busniessmen and women who can't work a clutch! :D
And nowadays, not everyone going down to the docks to "score longshoremen" is a woman either...
There's a stationwagon M5, too.
Alas, I will never know if Ferrari does this ;)
Are you sure it's just not a stationwagon with an M sport package?
Thanks for the info!
"I wanted to stop en route to let my wife could experience Federweisser"
That's a myth.
500 hp ! ;-)
just WOW
"Neckar river: Bad Wimpfen"
I lived 1969-1970 in nearby Heilbronn. US Army, but lived on local economy. That's a good part.
More good parts. Got to drive all over Europe with our US spec new European car.
Due to my enlisted pay grade, Fiat was the car. Bad part, needing no further explanation.
I may due the Euro Delivery thing. Have owned 3 BMWs and lean that way, Audi being next, followed by Volvo.
Volvo offers best travel allowance, puts me in Sweden, land of some ancestors.
BMW or Audi are the very best driver's cars, however. Plus I could drive all the way to Sweden!!

I'm too old to ever have gotten into Pokemon. Having seen enough Pokemon episodes thanks to young nephews, I'd say your flash is a dead-on parody. When the humor is somewhat predictable, and still funny anyways because of the subject matter, you know that lightning has been captured in a bottle. I wouldn't say that is was a brilliant flash, mainly because of the predictable humor. That was countered somewhat by keeping the humor somewhat innocent, with a couple of sly jokes thrown into see if someone is paying attention. The artwork is a bit crude, but hey, it's still better animation than the TV shows I have been forced to watch in my duties as an uncle. Voice acting was pretty good. Sound effects were average. Overall, a good flash that made me laugh.

Here is a book that I would never have read outside this assignment. Yet, reading it has been a delightful and informative experience. Homer's Iliad tells the tragedy of the ancient Greek soldier Achilles in the Trojan War. In this book, Vietnam veterans have narrated their own tragedies. Twenty-two years after the last US ground combat battalion was withdrawn, more than 250 000 Vietnam combat veterans currently meet the full DSM-IV criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Achilles in Vietnam compares and contrasts two wars separated by 27 centuries.
Dr Shay is a Boston-area psychiatrist who works with Vietnam combat veterans in the Department of Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic. He is also on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. His purpose in writing this book is "to put before the public an understanding of the specific nature of catastrophic war experiences that not only cause lifelong disabling psychiatric

Sensor networks provide a concise picture of complex systems and have been widely applied in health care domain. One typical scenario is to deploy sensors at different locations of human body and analyze the sensor measurements collectively to perform diagnosis of diseases. In this work, we are interested in differentiating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients from healthy people by monitoring peripheral blood pressure waveforms using electric sensors. PAD is an important cause of heart disease, which causes no significant symptoms until in a late stage. Therefore its early detection is of significant clinical values. Currently, PAD diagnosis either require large equipment or complicated, invasive sensor deployment, which is highly undesired in terms of medical expenses and safety considerations. To solve this problem, we present a novel approach to address the issue of high deployment cost in PAD detection via sensor networks. Assuming we are given many possibilities for sensor placement, each with different deployment cost, our goal is to select a small number of sensors with minimal costs while delivering accurate diagnosis. We solve this problem by treating each sensor as a feature, and designing a budget-constrained feature selection scheme to choose a compact, optimal subset of sensors, inducing very low deployment cost in terms of invasive treatment, while giving competitive classification accuracy compared with state-of-the-art feature selection method.

Patrick Semansky, AP
Although summer doesn't arrive until June 21, we are certainly experiencing a heat wave — both in the temperature outside and also in the machinations and consternations of political wrangling in our state.
Once again, Utah is receiving global media attention — this time about the new NSA facility in Bluffdale. Should Utahns be worried the federal government storing records of their telephone and Internet activities?
Pignanelli: "Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a Peeping Tom to install your window blinds."— John Perry Barlow
Two decades ago, my wife and I grew suspicious that political enemies were tapping our phone lines. A private detective determined we were the subjects of intense monitoring, but not by political opponents. A federal agency was snooping. He then stated, "Someone in your house is calling Baghdad weekly mentioning words like bombs, explosions, mosques, etc. The cloak-and-dagger crowd is very interested in you." I then realized my wife's Iraqi cousin — who was living with us — was calling her Muslim relatives living in a home damaged by an errant missile in the first Iraq War. (Of course, my Italian temper was in fifth gear when discussing this revelation with my wife.)
I grudgingly understand why national security entities eavesdropped on these innocent conversations. But every Utahn should be uncomfortable with all monitoring — regardless of the rationale — and expect safeguards in place to ensure that any spying on personal discussions is specific in nature and subject to judicial scrutiny. UtahSen. Mike Lee's, demand to open proceedings of the FISA court (which approves wiretap requests) is an excellent move. Americans should be equally concerned that young malcontents (like the NSA leaker) have security clearance and access to our private records.
Webb: This is a truly dumb issue to get worked up over. Who has been hurt by the NSA? Where are the victims? It has been vastly overblown and once again illustrates the truth that Congress can only do two things: nothing and overreact. Almost all Americans voluntarily reveal vast amounts of information about themselves by surfing the Web, posting on Facebook and Twitter, using location services on their smartphones, using credit cards and on and on. We'd all be amazed at the data being collected about us by any number of entities.
Every day, thousands of people are violated by unscrupulous marketers using data they've collected. Let's get upset about that, not about the Defense Department scanning data to protect us from being murdered by terrorists. Personally, I'm glad the good guys are protecting America using every means possible to detect the bad guys.
President Barack Obama is hypocritical on this issue, because this is precisely what he used to complain about as a civil libertarian community organizer and U.S. senator. But at least he grew up, got real, and now understands we need to protect America. He's now right on the issue, unlike the black helicopter fear-mongers on the far left and the far right, and some members of Congress.
Let's get real, folks. If you want to worry, then worry about something that's at least remotely likely to hurt you: like being hit by lightning, falling down stairs, drowning in the bathtub. There's plenty to worry about. But the NSA isn't one of them.
The national immigration debate is fostering interesting dynamics. Utah's business community and media leaders overwhelmingly support comprehensive reform legislation, but Utah's junior Sen. Mike Lee is adamantly opposed. What are the impacts on local politics?
Pignanelli: My firm represents many companies (from high technology to retail services) who respect Lee but are dumbfounded with his opposition to the "Gang of Eight" bill because the status quo is generating chaos for American businesses. Should the bill leave the Senate with divided support between Lee and Sen. Orrin Hatch, there will be external pressure and media attention on Utah's House delegation approximating the noise level of a general election year.

In this paper we introduce a novel method, LCDA, to identify the communities in large complex network based on ¿local community¿. Time complexity of our algorithm is O(n<k>3 Ln(n) where <k> is the mean degree and n is the number of vertices in the network. It is very useful in analyzing very larger complex network. By applying LCDA on Zachary club network we get better structure than classical NG algorithm and higher speed than SA method. Our algorithm exhibits good accurateness by testing much larger complex networks further.

Skip to comments.Did President Bush lie to the American People? Did our Intelligence Agencies fail us?
Posted on 02/08/2004 7:58:19 PM PST by MJY1288
All you have to do is remove the willful distortions of the facts in the press lately and look at this whole thing realistically, I'll try to do so now
1. We know for a FACT that Saddam Hussein possessed and used both Chemical and Biological agents against his enemies and his own people. This is FACT
2. We know that he was trying to develop a Nuclear Weapon before Israel bombed their Reactor in the 1980's... FACT
3. We know that his Chemical Weapons development went undetected until after the Gulf War and undetected by Weapons Inspectors until his Son-in-Law defected and told us where they were being developed.... FACT
4. We know that after 6 years of obstruction, the U.N. Weapons inspectors could not find and destroy the WMD's Saddam himself declared he had, in 1998 the U.N. Inspectors left Iraq without destroying everything that Saddam still possessed....... FACT
5. We know that Saddam never verified the destruction of the unaccounted for WMD's he admitted having... FACT
6. We know that after 12 years of U.N. Sanctions and enforcing the No-Fly Zones, Saddam still never accounted for the WMD's he admitted having..... FACT
7. We know that after Saddam was overthrown, David Kay has reported that Saddam had "Many Clandestine Laboratories" that were in violation of U.N. Resolution 1441, and all of the other 16 U.N. Resolutions ......FACT
8. We know that Saddam was compensating the families of suicide bombers in Israel in the amount of 25,000.00 U.S. Dollars.... FACT
9. We know that after the Gulf War in 1991, we found out that Saddam was much closer to developing a Nuclear Weapon that we had estimated . FACT
After all of this... we are supposed to believe that Saddam voluntarily destroyed his WMD's after we left Iraq in 1998? The only intelligent conclusion anyone with half a brain can come up with is that either we have yet to find them in Iraq, or Saddam had them moved to Syria, and since many in his Regime fled to Syria, my guess is that they are buried in Syria.
No President who respects the Oath he takes to defend this Country could ignore these facts in a post 9/11 world. Its not like Iraq was some third world country that we had never had problems with before, in fact, we lost several hundred U.S. Soldiers in Operation Desert Storm and Saddam had agreed to terms of a cease fire that would allow him to remain in power.
After 12 years of violating every agreement he made after the Gulf War and as a Nation who expects the world to take us seriously, we needed to remove him for the sake of our fallen soldiers whose blood was used to sign that cease fire in 1991. For that reason alone, WE DID THE RIGHT THING.. Think about this...... :-)
Have you heard anything about Syria lately? any statements from the State Dept. or Defense Dept.? The answer is NO, Methinks, we are in the middle of serious negotiations with Syria as I type this. Much like the ones we were in with Libya before they capitulated. My question is... Where is Richard Armitage? he is the State Departments "Heavy Hand" and he is one hell of an asset to this country
Me thinks as you typed this (or that as the case may be) it was 05:58AM Monday morning in Damascus. Now explain why yourthinks we'd, whoever "we" are, be negotiating at 05:58AM with Syria or anybody for that matter!
Post 9-11, we act. And act fast.
I don't see what poeple don't get.
One of my favorite quotes:
I'm under the impression that all terrorists are like wasps from the same nest. It is fruitless and pointless to try to figure out which wasp stung us and which wasp did not. Destroy the nest and every wasp you find in the nest. 98 posted on 08/19/2003 9:19 AM EDT by carton253
Except, maybe, why is the Bekaa Valley of interest to my brethren under arms?
This is how the president and we need to counter the garbage being put out there.
And bring a bunch of excavating equipment :-)
But not every President cares about the Oath. Perks of office are enough for some of them. The perks are there, no matter what.
Bush was quite clear when he said that he wasn't "going to kick the can down the road". Do we want to address the problems we face, or just stick our heads in the sand and hope nothing bad happens?
The choice is clear.
Thanks for serving our Country,
god Bless you,
The public has been very steady in supporting the war and the way Bush has handled it.
If President Bush avoided the badgering questions by Tim (I'm for Kerry) Russert and answered them with talking points, the Press would be all over him for it. The talking points are coming and all John F'n Kerry will be able to is take cover... because the facts hurt, and John F'n Kerry is going to be in a lot of pain :-)
When the politicians in Washington start seeing this, then we will know that we are past all this election year nonsense.
Thanks for what you said,
Well!!!!, One thing is for sure.... The Washington Post is Consistant :-)
We have heard about President Bush being a great Poker Player, Well, as a poker player myself, a good poker player has the ability to convince his opponents that they should bet on their losing hand, right now, the RATS are betting on a losing hand. There is no sense in calling their hand at this point, President Bush needs to wait until they wager all their chips first :-)
As I've been saying on so many posts ... we know he had them, proof of their destruction has not been produced, he had many nefarious colleagues in other countries, AND Iraq is the size of California!!! In 8 months, every square inch, down maybe 30-40 ft. is able to be tracked with technology or searched? I DON'T think so. As I've been saying, the caveat we need to add to the statement of not finding WMD is .... YET.
Here's some corroboration to the Syria connection .. I'll bet you're right .. Armitage is not very public anyway .. ya couldn't miss the sweet lovable bear .. but we'll never know what Dubya's got going on behind the scenes until it's long passed. AND I like that ... he is a great poker player and outsmarts 'em all .. AND THEY NEVER LEARN!!! LOL .

WMD in Syria: Kay
Ex-inspector says Iraq sent 'lot of material'
By AP
LONDON -- David Kay, who recently resigned as leader of a U.S. weapons search team in Iraq, said part of captive president Saddam Hussein's weapons program was hidden in Syria, a report in Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper said today. Kay was reported to have said he had uncovered evidence unspecified materials were moved to Syria shortly before last year's U.S. invasion of Iraq.
"We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons but we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD (weapons of mass destruction) program," Kay was reported saying in the interview conducted yesterday.
"Precisely what went to Syria and what has happened to it is a major issue that needs to be resolved," he added.
David Kay said Friday that Iraq had no stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons, and Secretary of State Colin Powell said yesterday it was an open question if they'd be found.
A senior U.S. official said yesterday Vice- President Dick Cheney, attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, believed "the jury's still out."
Speaking to reporters as he flew to today's inauguration of Georgian President-elect Mikhail Saakashvili, Powell said: The open question is how many stocks they had, if any, and if they had any, where did they go. And if they didn't have any, then why wasn't that known beforehand?"
Syria has denied pursuing weapons of mass destruction and said the long, porous border with Iraq makes it hard to stop infiltrators.
Last month, U.S. President George W. Bush approved the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act, which accuses Syria of hosting Palestinian militant groups, such as Hamas and Jihad, and seeking biological and chemical weapons.
The United States made up its mind that Saddam Hussein was going to be toppled, and the U.S. was going to engage in some long-term nation-building in Iraq.
The rationale behind all that nonsense about WMDs was two-fold:
1. To convince conservatives in this country who are adamantly opposed to U.S. nation-building (much lilke George W. Bush was when he was a presidential candidate in 2000) that it isn't really "nation-building" if we can think up a good reason for it.
2. To secure public support among the same dopey soccer moms in this country who had been infatuated with Bill Clinton for most of the 1990s.
They have been doing this since President Bush took office
Interesting points. Some of us may remember that a number of GOP Congressmen actually filed suit against the Clinton administration in that case, on the grounds that the War Powers Act had been violated.
The suit was thrown out of Federal court, and it's hard to argue with the judge's rationale. He basically said that Congress passed some kind of idiotic "we support the troops" legislation with regard to the troops in the Balkans, and he (the Federal judge) had no way of knowing (and no legal authority to determine) whether that kind of half-assed Congressional resolution amounted to a formal declaration of war.
I personally feel that John Kerry will be beaten like a rented Mule this fall and all of President Bush's detractors on this subject will have more Egg on their faces than all the Scrambled Eggs that Denny's Breakfast Bar can serve in any given month :-)
This is so true. The dims are doing on a national scale, what Kennedy did to Nixon in the 1960 debate. He attacked Nixon and the Eisenhower adm. over the weapons advantage the Russians had, knowing full well it was false, but also knowing that Nixon could not respond because it was classified information. The dims also know full well the good things that are happening, and are ongoing, but know President Bush will unlike them, put the country first. This will be the dirtiest campaign in recent history, and things are just warming up.
If the people of this country elect Kerry, they will be electing a gigolo, that will do Klaus von Bulow proud.

Irregular tire wear is usually a symptom of some other malfunction such as poor alignment, improper inflation or even poor driving habits. The peril with mechanically induced irregular wear is that it begins the day you install the tire, though it won't produce any visible signs until weeks or perhaps months later. By then, its progress is almost irreversible.

Franchot Tone (February 27, 1905 – September 18, 1968) was an American stage, film, and television actor, star of many successful films and television series throughout his career, such as Bonanza, Wagon Train, The Twilight Zone, The Alfred Hitchcock... Hour, and The Lives of a Bengal Lancer. He is perhaps best known for his role as Midshipman Roger Byam in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), starring alongside Clark Gable and Charles Laughton.
Connect any celebrity with Franchot Tone to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
Turner Classic Movies Robert Osborne say Franchot with the "T" pronounced. I would think he should know.
he certainly had many female friends..hee hee!
it`s Francho Tone...the T is silent
My grandmother met him in the 30`s...I have to say, I`m quite jealous! hehe
I`ve never been sure of the correct pronunciation of Franchot Tone`s name.. would you enlighten me please?

Seems very contradictory to me. The majoritylong and short think a CRL is almost automatic.Not me.
If implied volatility is high, which is the case of any binary event, both call and put options will be expensive.Think about this, if they are not expensive, people can just buy both the call and the put and make riskless profit!
A little kind advice -- never invest in anything you don't understand, and you obviously don't understand options pricing. Read a book on options pricing and trading before buying or selling puts or calls. Learn about implied volatility. If you are going to trade options on biotechs, you need to understand that implied volatility is extraordinarily high right before PDUFA, and it will drop like a rock after PDUFA. So if you have a position that is sensitive to volatility, you can get burned really bad if you are on the wrong side of the volatility play. In short, you can really get burned if you don't know what you are doing trading options. In the meantime, stick to straight stock, and don't buy on margin.
I invest what I understand and that is stocks.I do not trade options at all. I was lookingfor an answer to an options question however.I do know enough that options are highespecially now. But again, my point was ifmost think that this is a slam-dunk in anegative way, the price of the options did notnecessarily agree with that. I have closefriends from childhood that are in thebusiness, here and internationally, and theynoted how expensive the puts are. They alsoare long.I maybe shouldn't have asked that question,but I, along with many others get frustratedwith all the bashing that goes on. Again,I just stick with straight stocks. I dothank you for the advice. GL
It's obvious - if you sell a put (to open a contract) and the stock price drops below the strike, you may be put the stock at any time. If it's below the strike at OpEx, you WILL be put the stock.Puts are expensive because the sellers won't take that risk until they are offered a price they believe compensates for that risk. A CRL would almost certainly cause a drop in price; how much is anybody's guess.
My point is that the Biodel's puts are consideredhigh, for those who generally use puts forprotection on other stocks.

Mar 5, 2013Its the same as last years game. There are a couple changes to RTTS but nothing to warrant dropping $60 or trading in a bunch of your games to get this. Personally I think MLB 10 The Show was the best game and was almost perfect.This year pitching is harder and batting is also more complicated. Do I feel cheated again? Yup. Will you? Without a doubt.
May 28, 2013Yea so if you haven't heard, this game hasn't changed all that much from last year. Same silly bugs we get ever year. Same goofy problems. Biggest aspect of change you'll want to know, the guess pitch feature. They changed it so that you either guess correctly on pitch & location & lock on, or get one wrong & get no feedback whatsoever. The rankings, as you also probably heard, areYea so if you haven't heard, this game hasn't changed all that much from last year. Same silly bugs we get ever year. Same goofy problems.

The rankings, as you also probably heard, are atrocious. I can site examples all day but here's the bottom line: if you don't play online, stick with the 12 or older version of this. If you're the kind of person who has to have the new thing when it cones out, don't say you weren't warned.… Expand
Mar 6, 2013This review contains spoilers. I've been playing MLB 13 The Show for about 17 of the last 24 hours and The Show is terrible.. Presentation is terrible. The announce team couldn't sound any more artificial. Nothing about their commentary seems real. Matt Vasgersian just rambles on and on trying to play catch up. Online play so far has been horrible. I've played 4 games online and I'm 3-1. It was difficult to play with connection issues and lag with my opponent. I assure you it's not my 50mbps internet that is lagging. So if I want to play online I have to find someone with a top notch ISP and speeds like myself. No servers to help with the connections. The one place the MLB The Show shines is the in depth features of their game modes Franchise, RTTS and the Diamond Dynasty. All three of these features are amazing. As amazing as those features are I can't let the terrible game play slide by. Pure Analog pitching and hitting are horrible, but I'll assign part of the blame to PS3 and their controllers. The Analog sticks are so loose it's impossible to go straight back and forward with them. If this were on 360 I'd be willing to bet everyone would love the Pure Analog control styles. The other control styles for hitting and pitching Zone, Classic and Meter,Classic and Pulse all make me feel like I'm doing nothing. Hitting on this game is still ridiculous. It has improved some. Still way too many weak "oops I didn't mean to swing" type hits. Also in any control scheme for hitting I don't feel like I have control of where I want to hit the ball. They say it's based on timing and the hitters spray charts. This is not like real baseball. Watch any good hitter and you can tell where he is trying to hit the ball. Then usually he'll hit the ball there. I don't feel like i have this type of control in this game.
Pitching is insane as well. The pitch never goes where I aim for it to go, even if ,no matter which control scheme I'm using, I perfectly execute the pitch. The one positive for pitching in this game is the pitchers seem to fatigue realistically. Fielding in this game is a big area of concern for me. Even with the best infielders I can't get to regular ground balls in the hole. There are not too many balls that gets by Brandon Phillips at 2B for the Reds. I see at least five get by him per game on The Show. Also too many times I've had my fielder lined up perfectly to catch a fly ball, then it mysteriously drops to the ground. Finally on fielding is the throwing. The throw meter is stupid. Just plain stupid. All fielders that I have noticed have the same green spot. Shouldn't that spot be bigger or smaller depending on the fielders throwing ability. Then too many times I've just barely missed the green spot, like it's just barely past it in the yellow and the ball goes way off line usually resulting in an error. Baserunning maybe I'm dumb but I can't figure it out. I have to aim the Left analog stick at the runner then tell him what to do. I've tried this and usually they just stop running. So I'm left with just advancing all and returning all. You may want to discredit me for the upcoming closing part but here it goes. A lot of the "new" improvements and the "new" game mode "The Show Live" were mostly ripped straight from MLB 2K series. Analog hitting and pitching were perfected by the 2K series. The new throwing meter in the field, was done first by MVP baseball then perfected by the 2K series. The above mentioned new game mode "The Show Live" is a direct ripoff of the MLB Today game mode from 2K. I'm not trying to say 2K is the better game or not. 2K has some serious issues with glitches and poor graphics and just hardly ZERO depth and features in their game modes. However, while the glitches are annoying, they are usually minor and don't effect the outcome of the game too often. I am willing to sacrifice a level or two of graphics in exchange for better gameplay. Sorry MLB2k may not look as good, but the pitching is the best ever of any baseball game. The fielding is par. The baserunning is easy. The hitting I have complete control of where i want to hit the ball. The announce team and audio presentation squashes MLB The Show. They also have servers and better online connections. So I've played both games. I went out and bought a PS3 just so I can play The Show. I feel like I have wasted $370.00 I could have just bought MLB 2k and would have been happy.… Collapse

May 29, 2013A great, deep and entertaining baseball sim without a tutorial to welcome newcomers.
CD-ActionMay 7, 2013It's the best baseball simulation available, but the biggest new feature is the mode for beginners, not very interesting to PS3 baseball aficionados. And the rest will probably ignore this game. [CD-Action 05/2013, p.79]
Playstation Official Magazine UKApr 23, 2013The Show remains the most authentic sports series of all time. FIFA can't touch it. [May 2013, p.108]
